'RRR' on a winning spree

'RRR', starring Ram Charan and Jr NTR in the lead, scripted history after it won the Golden Globe Awards for the best original song for its track 'Naatu Naatu'.

It did not just stop there, but went on to bag two more trophies at the Critics Choice Awards 2023. 'RRR' won the Critics' Choice Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category. It also took home the Best Original Song trophy for the song 'Naatu Naatu'.

RRR at Oscars

The massive victory for 'RRR' has only further boosted its chance to win an award at the Oscars 2023. While the film is already being lauded and celebrated across the globe, it was recently screened for the members of the Academy, during which it received a standing ovation.

For those unversed, 'RRR' has found a spot for itself in the Music (Original Song) category for the chartbuster 'Naatu Naatu'. With this, it has become the first Indian song to be shortlisted for Oscars.
